Can't you do it in multiple pass? to me 40mm is pretty thick for a one pass process. Perhaps your application is more suitable using a router table. The OF 1400 a very power full router based on it's weight and versatility. If you are doing some kind of profile a shaper comes in mind but yet the price jump a bit

I use the 1400 to cut 40mm worktops on a regular basis. I just make sure I do 3 passes and it really has no issue at all. Doing 3 passes gives the blade a longer life as well so no hardship to me. I am not going to be changing it for anything else, doesn't seem worth it to me.
